I guess an RFE at least means they have looked at it!

Hi all,

Just updating that today we received an email letting us we've become Documentary Qualified. The review took 11 days since we submitted all documents. Our consulate seems to take close to a year after becoming DQ to schedule interviews, so we're not expecting any news until next year.

Just found out today our case got transferred to Vermont which has the worst processing times - cannot even submit an inquiry request until April 2024. Trying to remain positive - I myself am an immigration attorney so thought I would have good karma through this process. Trying very hard to not get discouraged working on cases filed after mine that get approved, because I am just happy for anyone making it through this process!

Happy to share I got DQ today , took jus 11 days after I submitted my documents . Praying for an earliest interview date so my kids and I can spend the holidays with my husband .

Hello everyone,

We have an update! We just got our I-130 approved on August 3rd, 2023!! We are still waiting for the approval letter to come in the mail though. Does anyone know when we should expect to receive the NVC welcome letter?

Hey everyone,

Here are some updates from our case:

 

September 29th, 2023 : We submitted all of our documents to NVC through CEAC.

October 6th, 2023 : We ended up having to resubmit one and we resubmitted it on this date.

October 16th, 2023 : We got DQ!!

November 6th, 2023 : Received our Interview Date by email!

 

Does anyone know if they also mail out a letter before the interview or if we need to print out the email that we received and bring it to the interview?

Very nice - congratulations!  Similarly,

 

October 13, 2023 - Submitted all documents to NVC via CEAC

October 29, 2023 - Submitted additional documents

November 7, 2023 - DQ

 

Now just awaiting interview date.  I was wondering how backlogged NVC is post-DQ and awaiting interview dates so this gives me some hope.  The category for us is IR5 (parents of US citizens).

Congratulations!!! It took us 3 weeks to get ours by email, this might also depend on the consulate. I hope you get your interview date soon!!
